Where does baby sleep during the day when they are too big for a moses basket

3 month old is now too big for the moses basket and keeps waking herself up. Where are you putting baby during the day (nhs says same room until 6 months) but our bedroom is next door to the living room) and what are you using instead of the moses basket?

My 3 month old is in next to me crib from around a month ago which I keep in living room and then has a cot in the bedroom for night… you could try moving next to me in the day and then back to room at night think this is what a lot of people do x

How are you getting your babies to nap not on you? Mine never has during the day 😬

My little girl has a next to me crib which she sleeps in when in our bedroom, upstairs in her nursery she also has a cot which we have used for naps since small. Downstairs we have a swinging crib which she will then sleep in so all depends where we are. When she out grows this we have a travel cot from our 2.5 year old which she will then use to nap in and of course play in when she starts to sit up etc x

Our boy sleeps either on us, on his beanbag or just on the couch but same as others it’s hard to get him to nap at times

not to judge at all, but please be really careful with sleeping on the sofa and bean bag etc, lots of tragedies have happened like this 🥲 sent with love x

100%! he is never alone like this, we are always there - it’s the only place he’ll actually sleep😥

If she’s not napping on me, I put my little girl in her next to me in the bedroom, I just keep the baby monitor with me so I can keep an eye on her xx

me too don't worry 😂

Pram

We’re borderline too big for the Moses basket so pram! I’m not ready for naps to be upstairs yet 🙈

My little girl only naps for like 20-40 mins recently so she just sleeps on me cos by the time I get her to sleep in her next to me she's awake lol x

I had to start training her to sleep in the Moses basket I’d let her fall asleep and then transfer her . And sit a chair next to the basket and pat her. The more I tried the last time I need to sleep at her. Took a good two weeks to get her to stop contact napping. Wanted to establish this before the 4 month sleep regression

Mine was napping in the pram during the day but now I've started trying to get all naps (if we're home) to be in his next to me crib in the bedroom with the monitor on

I just put him in next to me crib too :) upstairs out of the way but with video baby monitor

We’ve never used a Moses basket as I didn’t see the point with them outgrowing them so quickly, we use the carrycot from the pram on a Moses basket stand

I have a swing cot in the living room I use but trying to do lunchtime nap in his big cot in nursery room with baby monitor on to get him used to it. Also leave him in his pram bassinet if falls asleep in there during walks

Next to me of a night time, sofa or pram of a day, sometimes on me. We have a foot stool that connects to the sofa and then I just make sure there are cushions around if I go the toilet etc. but to be honest she’s never out of my sight so the sofa is perfectly safe for me x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
